Scott,
There are two NBs available in the K3. Have you tried the K3 DSP NB?
Don't even tell me about the "NB" in the FT-1000. Been there; _fought_
with Chip K7JA at Yaesu about how bad it was until he quit responding.
That was about 1992/3. Tom W8JI finally explained where Yaesu really
screwed the pooch with their entire FT-1000 line NB wise. I went through
every rig from 1990 right up to 2014 when I got my 2nd K3 and the latest
DPS software. During that time I was fighting electric fence and power
line "crap" on 160 meters, my main band of interest. The "regular" for
lack of a better word, Noise Blanker, in the K3 is probably okay for
auto ignition noise, like all the rest, but for what I faced it was the
DSP NB that blew all the rest of the crap away. NO Problems with strong
signal overload on 160. I could copy very weak signals right in between
New England/NY big guys, and that is on my transmit antenna! The K3 DSP
NB was, and still is, a game changer for me. Give it a try on your power
line junk.
